I’ve read several books that include demon hunters and this book didn’t disappoint. I would categorize myself as a sci-fi, fantasy, and paranormal genre lover at times although I enjoy reading pretty much anything fiction. I especially like reading books with strong female characters like Rovena. I easily got interested in Rovena and what makes her special. As I continued to read I became more and more invested in Rovena, the world she lives and works in. The author did a wonderful job with character descriptions, the world they strive to survive in, and building up the story to make the reader want to continue reading more. I think many reader will enjoy reading this book.

THE COOL THING: A DARK COMEDY. OR NOT. is the first book in THE COOL THING SERIES. It’s a satisfyingly weird book that takes the kind of yuckier, messier parts of humanity and gives them a good shake up with some truly wacky sci-fi elements. I’m always a fan of a detailed book that really captures my imagination, and this definitely did that. Somehow, the level of grossness at times made it even more vivid and tangible for me, and I was really drawn in. Like, we see former sporting hero Carl trying to salvage a pack of cigarettes that had an unfortunate encounter with a bottle of beer. I’m pretty sure I could smell and taste them as I was reading. I wouldn’t recommend this if you’re looking for loveable characters. But you’ll certainly find interesting characters here! Readers may find some of the content offensive or upsetting, and this is definitely not a book for younger readers. This book gets five stars from me. I was totally engrossed, and really enjoyed it! It has me looking for the weird and magical in the everyday, which is wonderful!

Or Not. by Robert Rife – Review by Francis O’Sullivan
This book follows EmVee and her family after they move to a new town. It is a great story about a girl doing what she can for her family. EmVee is a fighter with the hopes of taking that dream farther. You get to follow her on her journey to discover more about the mysterious new town her family has ended up in.
The book has a great storyline that is pretty easy to follow. It’s a great starter book for someone who has not read too much in the fantasy genre. I have not read much fantasy in the last few years so this was a great option. The fantasy aspect is not just thrown into your face which was a nice change from some other books in the genre.
It was very well written and I enjoyed that it was a quick read. I enjoyed that once I got sucked into the novel, I could finish the whole thing versus having to put the book down to sleep or go to work.

The Liminal Space is the second book in T.S. Simons’ exciting Antipodes series. Set in a post-apocalyptic world, with survivors connected by Stargate-esque portals, this series has me totally hooked! One of the things I particularly like about the series is the opportunity to travel to different parts of the world, which makes it a great lockdown read (if you can cope with the “disease wiping out most of life on Earth” plot at the moment). In this sequel, Cam has grown and learnt a lot. He is confident in what he has to offer to his community, and is learning to let go of things outside of his control. All of the characters are adapting to the new way of life, but also missing aspects of their old lives and wondering if things ever could go back to normal. This series is very much a series for today’s world. As well as themes that relate to our experiences with COVID-19, there is a huge focus on environmental issues and our responsibilities towards the planet. It is a thought-provoking book that I would recommend to young adult readers. It gets five stars from me!

Simons – Review by Francis O’Sullivan
This book first transported me back in time to London in the late 1800’s, and then it transported me into a mirror world! I am a big fan of fantasy and mystery, which made delving into this book and discovering new worlds so much fun. I highly enjoyed Evaline’s strong-willed personality, her independence, and her tenacity! I cannot imagine being a woman in her time with all of the societal pressures and what a “woman’s rightfully place” is. She handled it with spunk and never stopped being true to herself. This book brought in so many elements of classic stories (Jack the Ripper, Sherlock Holmes, etc) and spun them into one with magic and mystery and mayhem. Definitely a worthwhile fantasy read and I am excited to see where the story goes from here!

I truly enjoyed this story. It kept me guessing throughout. I have to say that I normally shy away from books that include paranormal elements. However, I went out of my comfort zone with this one and it was an excellent choice. While some of these elements featured prominently in the story it did not feel forced or even farfetched. I really really found myself loving these characters and invested in their futures.
Roxanne has just faced a major tragedy. She carries around the blame and guilt for that day and it is manifesting itself in her life in different ways. To help distract herself she takes a job caring for the award winning author Claudette. Claudette is dying and refusing to go into a hospital or nursing home, rather she would prefer to stay in her house.
As the job begins, Roxanne is warned that Claudette is not amenable to having a caregiver. However, on Roxanne’s first day she discovers that is not necessarily the case. Claudette takes a quick liking to Roxanne and she asks her to help Claudette finish her final book. She also asks that Roxanne become her ghost writer after she passes away.
As Roxanne begins to read over the notes Claudette has for her, strange things begin happening to Roxanne. She is hearing music coming from a music box in the attic. Then she begins to hear voices. She believes at first that she is losing her mind and that what she is seeing and hearing is related to the tragedy she experienced. However, she quickly realizes that ghost writer has a completely different meaning to Claudette. Roxanne is seeing and hearing the main character in the book Claudette is asking her to help finish. As time goes on, Roxanne realizes that this book is far more personal than Claudette has ever let on and that Phillip, the main character in the book she is writing may not be as fictional as she once thought.

Evaline Wainwright is the daughter of a well to do gentleman, who is also a practitioner of magic and Evaline has inherited this talent as well, although in London in 1888, this is frowned upon and can lead to a whole host of problems if it is discovered that you practice magic without a license and as a woman, Evaline is not likely to be able to procure one any time soon. As well as practitioners of magic, her parents are occult archeologists and have spent most of their lives researching into and finding artefacts of great power, that is until Evaline’s mother passed away and her father retired from the field because of it, but Evaline wishes to follow a similar path and become a great detective, but this is frowned upon as well.
As Evaline starts her day in the usual manner, she is about to start helping her father with some work when a strange woman clothed all in black with a severe countenance requests a meeting with him. Her father ushers Evaline out of the room so that the discussion can be held with privacy, however, Evaline cannot help herself and listens in. This is where she overhears the woman asking her father for help to retrieve an artefact which can not only save her world, but the one the mystery woman inhabits as well. This news of alternate worlds is news to Evaline, however, she just cannot resist a mystery and a chance to prove her skills, so when she overhears where the woman will be staying, she makes up her mind to go and speak to her herself, even though it is against the wishes of all those around her.
While all this is happening, Evaline is also trying to avoid an arranged marriage and spend time with her beau without the watchful eyes of her father and the staff whom he employs, however, when the two of them end up being transported to the mysterious world of Londinium by the mystery woman, the decision as to whether to investigate is taken out of their hands. As they learn more about their surroundings, Evaline and her beau realise that the sun never shines there, the weather and the purple are perpetually miserable and Doctor Death is the one pulling all the strings, but how does this all connect to the strange woman’s request of Evaline’s father?
This is a historical mystery which will keep you on the edge of your seat as you explore Londinium and solve the clues in this fast paced fantasy, with elements of Sherlock Holmes and the paranormal throughout.

I am a HUGE fan of this series and was SO excited to read the newest installment. As predicted, it did not disappoint. It has been a long time since I read book number three, so I could have easily reread it to refresh my memory but I couldn’t wait to dive right in. Literally my only “complaint” is that I had a foggy memory when it came to some of the characters. Of course, this in no way impacted the storyline or quality of writing. I love that not only does this book have action and suspense it has well written and developed characters with a genuine bond between each other. I feel as though not only are they closely connected, they’re written in a way that feels like they’re my best friends too. I can not recommend this book (or series) enough!

Evaline is a necromancer who sees herself as a future detective. She looks up to Sherlock Holmes and wants to follow in his footsteps. Life has other plans for her. Being a woman in the late 1800s, she doesn’t have many rights. Her father has arranged a marriage to a man she does not like at all. Everything she wants to do is frowned upon, even her magical abilities.
A woman, named Nerezza, shows up seeking help from Evaline’s father. A creature called Dr. Death is wreaking havoc upon her world and there is an artifact she thinks can stop the creature. Unfortunately after the death of his wife, he stepped back in his normal job for unearthing valuable artifacts. Evaline’s interest is piqued and she decides to follow the woman and offer her help.
Nerezza decides to take advantage of Evaline’s offer and flings her into her own world which is a mirror version of London. Evaline has to use her wits and magic to help find this artifact and Dr. Death.
Someone else said that this is like Alice in Wonderland meets Sherlock Holmes and I completely agree with that statement. It was exciting and mysterious and kept me on the edge of my seat. Ending on a cliffhanger, I cannot wait for the second book of the series!

This is the fourth book in this series and the best yet. This series keeps getting better and better with every installment. This is an author that I have enjoyed from the first book I picked up. This is a well written story where the author used their writing skills and attention to details to make the story pop. This is a great romance story that has some twists of suspense added to it. A story about two people who are trying to make things work but a serial killer has something else in mind. There are a lot of things happening in this story but the author did a great job of keeping me engaged. The characters are strong, connectable and supportive of each other. They had me coming back for more. They made the story easy and entertaining to read which just added to the story. I really enjoyed reading this book and I highly recommend it.

This is a series that I have enjoyed right from the beginning and I love this new addition to it. This book is easily my favourite in the series so far. I just loved getting to know Andy and Stella, their relationship seemed so precious and exactly what they both needed. And I was really rooting for Stephen to find a way to be a part of the family again. Then came the mystery and intrigue of the killer targeting them. For me, that just added a whole new layer to the story and made it so much more enjoyable. The author has really caught my attention with this book and I could not put it down. Not only is this an already strong series – this book for me is fantastic all on its own.

This book was such a fun read. I read a lot of reviews comparing it to Alice in Wonderland, I was iffy about it, but it’s not a retelling, and it only has some similarities. It is the perfect combination of paranormal, adventure, mystery, magic and so much more. it was so exciting to read about Evaline’s adventure and story. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. would definitely recommend it!

This is a dystopian novel with an emphasis on real world problems. The author has created a story that is fictional and set in a dystopian world but has given it a very realistic feel by basing it on current global issues such as GM vs organic food and general political views. I thought the idea behind the story was good. It was an enjoyable plot with characters that fit well within the story. I found it hard to really connect with it though as, at times, it felt like it was a little too political for my liking. While I don’t’ mind reading books like that, I prefer my dystopian novels to be more on the fictional side. However, the book was well written and certainly interesting. It gave me a good view into the authors writing style and has made me want to read more of her work.

Another Excellent installment in the Fitz Series! I really can not wait to read these books when they come out! The mystery is top notch and how it is blended in with the family is perfectly done! Everyone who loves a mystery should grab this series!
While this isn’t about Fitz he easily becomes involved via friends and family. I enjoyed the weaving of the story and how it told from different points of view. It really made me understand how each character was feeling and thinking through the process.
Title is perfect! I have enjoyed the changes in Fitz and his thought process in here just made me like him even more. Next please!

What a Story! Not what I expected! This series just keep getting better and better! I loved how this one brought out the emotions! I was sickened, enraged and saddened. Oh there are good times but the main story..at times I just wanted to cry. I have many…many sections highlighted as there is much wisdom in here.
This is the fourth book in the Fitz Series. While it could be read as a stand alone I would highly recommend reading the series in order. The reason is that the characters are given to the reader in bits and pieces. Through the stories they each show up and the family grows larger with additions.
We have previously met Stephen and Andy. I adored them and was devastated at how Stephen acted. Now he is back and wants Andy to forgive and forget. I admire the backbone that Andy has in this story. His life has not been easy but luckily he has the love of a great family.
Fitz and his team or family have really outdone themselves in here. I am still reeling from all the trauma and suspense that happened in here. It is an honor to hang out with Fitz and his family/friends.

Evaline is a necromancer and the daughter of an important man, who I felt was controlling to keep both him and her safe. But Evaline has different plans, she was set on helping others and making a difference in life, that she was finding herself in some interesting situations. This rabbit hole of a book I fell in love while reading just kept me wanting more and more of what was going to happen. I found the character development was done extremely well, and the back stories that go with it was just as entraining. Along with the world building in this book it really made me feel like I could imagine with detail what it was like. This amazing mystery, paranormal and magical, with artifacts and ancient things is amazing and something I thoroughly enjoy reading about. This book kept me in my toes and wanting to read more and not put it down. It was really well written and thought out, it’s a must read.

A Tale of a Body Thief was my first book from by Kristy Centeno and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it! This was a great introduction to the Rovena Silvex Chronicles. The world building in this story is -phenomenal-. The characters are extremely well fleshed out. I adored the strength and perseverance of Rovena. She is no ordinary demon hunter and she is very good at what she does. For me, this book was a slow-burn, and enjoyably so. Many things are transpiring and building and it is absolutely worth the wait. This book concludes perfectly to lead into the next and I can say that I am very excited to dive in when the following book for this series comes out. I definitely recommend, even if paranormal fantasy is not your typical go-to!

I don’t really know where the title came from, but I’m glad I read Amber Waves of Grace. It was a really good book with amazing characters. I know so much more about farming now, haha. But for real, it is a wholesome clean story. The characters all go through some pretty heavy stuff, but it is real life problems. The story was realistic and not just a fairy tale love story. I love how close the families are, and the characters all have good chemistry. I enjoyed reading the afterward acknowledgements, learning where the character inspiration came from. Highly recommend and look forward to reading more by the author.

4.5 out of 5 stars Princess of Prias, by Courtney Davis: First, let me start by saying I really enjoyed Princess of Prias, and was unable to put it down once I started it. Princess of Prias is a beautiful story of girl named Elle (L) who goes on an unexpected adventure to find the truth about who she is, and where she came from.
The story begins with a tragic scene which leaves our heroine orphaned as a newborn on a planet not her home, Earth. Thankfully, she was taken in by a kind woman who taught her love and acceptance as she grew into the bright young woman she was meant to be. Although she grew up with her Aunt Sarah, who had taken her in and loved her, she still always felt like she didn’t quite belong. That something was different about her, more than just her physical appearance of purple eyes, and a blue star shaped birthmark.
Throughout Elle’s adventure, she lives out every young girl’s dream, finding out she is a long-lost princess. But she’s so much more than that, she is her people’s savior, and during her adventure she learns more about herself, her people, and what she can do to save them. She finds she is more powerful than she could have ever imagined and learns to use that power to save her world.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this author or this genre- it definitely isn’t one I would pick up at the library. But, I’m glad I took a chance! This story will make you laugh out loud!
Rhainnon/Aqua Marine comes from a family of a superhero and a supervillain. This leaves her wondering where her place is in this labeled world. She feels like she is an imposter because her superpowers aren’t good enough in her eyes. She wants to leave an impact in this world and to just make her mom proud of her. She isn’t sure how to make this happen with her power to lift only one cup of water at a time.
This entertaining and fun read will have readers from the younger end of the YA audience to adults engaged and willing to see what happens next.

Wow! Where to start, where to start. Honestly, this novel was much different than any other that I have read, and I think that that is a very good thing. Just the back and forth between Rovena and Lakyn would be entertaining enough, in my opinion, never mind the demons and responsibilities that came from Rovena’s line of work. It takes a little while to really get into it, but once connections are established, boy oh boy was it an addictive read.
There is so much tension, sexual and otherwise, fantastic character development, and world building and I felt as though it was just the right length. I love the lessons within these pages as well, such as not judging a book by it’s cover, and by following your gut instinct, and all those delicious life lessons. I very much look forward to reading more by this author, and I think you would do well to give this a read. Well done!

I’ll start off by saying that the amount of faith, despite all the things that Corrie, Aaron, Luke, Violet, and all the other amazing folks in this novel go through, is really incredible. I have never been one to really look to the higher ups, whomever they may be, to get me through the tough times, but after reading this, I can certainly see the mentality behind doing so. Truly, the writing in this novel was very well done, had a great touch of mystery, romance, and family.
I really enjoyed the character building, and found it fairly easy to relate to Corrie and her need to keep the farm afloat, as well as the struggles she went through in the past. The only thing I found difficulties with, is that the past seemed to stick right where it was, and decisions were being made based on such over and over again, which seemed a bit overdone. That being said, everything else was phenomenal, and it just proves that if you have the right people by your side, you can get through anything! I do recommend giving this a read, it will give you the tingles and make you feel as though you can overcome anything!

Key to His Heart was an absolutely engaging story. From the quaint town of Golden Crest as the setting, to the characters we get to meet in this town, I was fully in love with this story. Pregnant and divorce, Katrina is drawn to the small town and start life over. She doesn’t know a soul, but her own soul tells her she must be in this town. TJ has returned home after his retirement from the NFL. He loves his close knit family and his job as Coach and teacher at the local high school. The only thing missing his the desire to fall in love and create a family. TJ and Katrina meet in an unexpected way and moments keeps springing up for these two. Katrina has envisioned so many of these moments and knows she is here for a reason. These two realize that they are intertwined in more than just a physical attraction and realize that true love and soulmates may be real. This story isn’t only about finding your soulmate. It is finding your family and who you are meant to become. I love how the storyline flowed and I was pulled into the hopes, dreams and desires of all the characters. Lovely story!

I loved this book. It is a darker spin on Alice in Wonderlond. Evaline wants to be the next great detective (Sherlock Holmes) and practice her magic.

Can she find the artifact and save the mirror world before it’s too late? I cannot wait for the next book to find out what happens next.
